There are multiple indications for luminal imaging of the colon. From assessment of known disease, to diagnosing new pathology; intra-luminal visualisation is the mainstay of gastrointestinal diagnosis. Colonoscopy and radiological imaging are currently the most frequently deployed diagnostic methods. However, both have an associated risk profile, have significant resource pressures and are not universally tolerated. Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) offers an adjunct to these diagnostic options. In this narrative review the utility of CCE is described. Its current uses, potential benefits and future developments are also discussed.
结肠腔内成像有多种适应证。从评估已知疾病到诊断新的病变；腔内可视化是胃肠道诊断的主要方法。结肠镜检查和放射影像学检查目前是最常应用的诊断方法。然而，这两种方法都有相关的风险，存在显著的资源压力，且并非普遍耐受。结肠胶囊内镜（CCE）为这些诊断方法提供了补充。本文对 CCE 的应用价值进行了描述。还讨论了其目前的用途、潜在的益处和未来的发展。
